Just had a baby and was wanting to establish care for my child. Called and asked about their vaccine protocol and would they support me giving one vaccine at a time and was told "yes". I have always given my children one vaccine at a time so that I can watch for any adverse reactions. Same concept when you first introduce foods. 1 at a time and monitor for reactions. Anyway.. I went on their website and boy was I blown away by what was written!
From their website:
" Furthermore, we firmly believe that by not vaccinating your child, you are taking selfish advantage of thousands of others who do vaccinate their children, which decreases the likelihood that a child will contract one of these diseases.
We feel such an attitude to be self-centered and unacceptable. Even delaying or "breaking up the
vaccines" to give one or two at a time over additional visits goes against expert recommendations, is not supported by any scientific data, can lead to unnecessary delays and errors, and can put your child, other children, and adults at risk for serious illness (or even death). It is therefore against our medical advice as professionals at Monroe Pediatrics."
I find this Super judgemental and VERY aggressive. I will NOT bring my child to this pediatric office. And if you are a parent like me that is cautious with what you give your children and care enough to do some research and not just follow the "normal protocol" I would consider going elsewhere as well.
Noted this from their website as well:
5. WHAT IF THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM?
An allergic reaction could occur after the vaccinated person leaves the clinic. If you see signs of a severe allergic reaction (hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, or weakness), call 9-1-1 and get the person to the nearest hospital.
For other signs that concern you, call your health care provider.
Adverse reactions should be reported to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS). Your health care provider will usually file this report, or you can do it yourself. Visit the VAERS website at www.vaers.hhs.gov or call 1-800-822-7967. VAERS is only for reporting reactions, and VAERS staff members do not give medical advice.
So again HOW WOULD I KNOW WHICH VACCINE CAUSED THE REACTION IF 6 were given at the same time!!!!! read more
